Most banks charge an acquisition fee on a lease.. The money goes to the bank (think.. mortgage application fee).. I don't know Chrysler Finance's usual fee, but $700 sounds about right... |

Replying to: tedebear (Mar 02, 2008 9:07 am) Does that mean no destination charges? or does that mean no additional fees added on top of (invoice -1%) + dest + $75 program fee? Can anyone who recently purchased using friends discount confirm?

Replying to: phred84044 (Mar 02, 2008 7:15 pm) Where is the extra $750 of the incentives coming from? I see the $1500 rebate + extra $1000 for lessees, but haven't seen the extra $750 published. Is this marketing support or would that be in addition to any marketing support? Thanks

Replying to: cheapdad000 (Mar 05, 2008 9:00 pm) Correct. The destination charge is part of the MSRP on the window sticker. Refer to it as the Monroney label in front of a salesman if you want to impress them.  Also, the $75 is a documentation fee. There is no program fee for the Friends discount. The discount is approximately 1% below invoice, so don't look up the invoice on Edmunds and go into the dealership with an exact dollar on paper and tell them that's what you're supposed to pay. The Friends discount is printed right on the invoice - look for the PP (Preferred Pricing) code.

Replying to: cheapdad000 (Mar 05, 2008 9:07 pm) Chrysler added an additional incentive during the last week of February on GC's and T&C's. An additional $750 was available if you were a returning Chrysler cusomter (any Chrylser, Jeep, Dodge product) or if you were a returning minivan segment customer (another competitor's minivan). This additional incentive never showed up on any of the typical incentive locations (Chrysler website, Edmunds, etc.) The $750 additional incentive must have carried over to March because I've been working a deal over the past several weeks and the dealer yesterday said the total rebates were still $3,250 so I guess it carried over into March.

Replying to: tedebear (Mar 05, 2008 10:09 pm) One more question in regards to: Documentation fees are allowable under the respective governing State in which the vehicle is titled. Documentation fees may not exceed those normally charged on any other sales transaction. In regards to the friends program, does this mean they can charge $75 + their standard doc fee or is the doc fee capped  $75? Does anyone have any recent examples of Friends discount amounts - specifically on the Sig series? Thanks

Replying to: cheapdad000 (Mar 06, 2008 4:35 pm) It means that the doc fee cannot exceed $75 total. |

Did this apply to both purchases and leases or just to leases?

Replying to: cheapdad000 (Mar 06, 2008 9:22 pm) Lease Terms-36 months, 53% residual, .00129 Money Factor MSRP-$30,925 Friends Price (Zip 84074)-$28588 Chrysler Financial Acquisition Fee-$700 Gross Cap Cost-$29288 Rebates-$3,250 ($1,000 lease cash, $1,500 lease loyalty, $750 minivan segment bonus cash) Down Payment-$1,500 Payment-$315.03 ($296.36 base + $18.67 tax) No dealer doc fee, negotiated $200 in free service (which the Sales Manager will now cut me a check for), full tank of gas, no dealer stickers or emblems. Dealer was Quality Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep in Tooele, Utah. Very good to work with--no pressure, all fees waived (except Chrysler acquisition fee, license & registration) and excellent salesperson. We were expecting $324 payment but my wife and I were pleasantly surprised that the F&I guy told us $315. Thanks Tedebear for your help!!!

Sorry to be such a car-buying idiot, but I am surprised at how many of the posts here look to be lease rather than buy. Is that the better deal right now? I am almost embarrassed to admit it, but after years of driving a Town & Country, last July in a fit of irritation at my local dealer and their AWFUL service department, I bought a new 2007 Odyssey. I HATE it! I know I am not supposed to, as a good yuppie, certified soccer mom I am supposed to adore the Odyssey, but there are SO many things about it that are less convenient and/or comfortable than a Town and Country. The one good thing -- at less than a year old, it has a high resale value, lol, so unbelieveably, I am considering trading it in for a new T&C. I wanted to get a decent idea of the prices before I tell my husband.  . I would be going for a Touring with something like the 25L package. I appreciate any advice! Anna
